A man placed two people in fear and alarm when he turned up at their home and banged on the door and windows.

Martin Graham attended the Kilbirnie home occupied by a man and woman on July 31.

He kicked and struck the front door and windows and placed the pair in a state of fear and alarm.

Graham, 36 and of no fixed abode, pled guilty to one charge when appearing at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court from custody.

Sentence was deferred for a Community Payback Order Progress Report until September.

Graham was granted bail and will return to the court on that date.
